...so since there's not much to analyze, I figured I'd share some of the weeks greatest quotes and chants from the games in the UK, courtesy of the BBC...
"If you've just joined us, we are having a long delay, because Bassong's head has bounced off the pitch." Radio 5 live commentator during Chelsea's win over Tottenham.
---
"If the ball is in the back of the net, you can't catch them on the counter." Johnny Giles with a cutting insight during RTE commentary.
---
"Portsmouth - Still winless, still pointless." Mark 'Chappers' Chapman questions Pompey's very existence on Final Score.
---
"Cardiff City's new £50 stadium holds 26,500 and was opened in the summer." Picture caption on BBC Sport website. I always knew Cardiff were cheapskates!
---
"West Brom are having a bad little spell. They were leading 4-1, but now they're leading 3-1." Jeff Stelling on Soccer Saturday.
---
"I was going to hitch the shorts up to my nipples. I thought that would have been a good celebration, but the fans would have thought what the hell's he doing?" Newcastle's Steven Taylor ditches his planned goal celebration after scoring against Plymouth.
And we can't forget some great chants...
"We've got Morten Gamst Pedersen; Gamst Pedersen is what we need!"
A soft rock tribute to the Blackburn midfielder to the tune of Bon Jovi's Bad Medicine.
---
"Hey! Chelsea! Leave those kids alone!"
Villa fans to the tune of Another Brick in the Wall (following the transfer ban for allegedly illegally inducing French teenager Gael Kakuta to sign).
---
"We only cost five quid!"
Morecambe fans to moneybags Notts County during the Shrimps' 2-1 victory on Saturday.
---
"The Unibond, it has no nails,The Unibond it has no nails,And its anti-mould bath sealantIs very good, it never fails."
From the Stand Band at Marine FC. Should please the sponsors of the Northern Premier League! To the tune of When The Saints.
---
"Jo, Jo, Jo, he's magic, you know."
Sung to the Brazilian forward after he finished off AEK Athens with a fourth for Everton. To the tune of Magic by Pilot.
---
"Petr, Petr love your socks."
Chelsea fans appreciate Petr Cech's bright green football socks.
"Danny, Danny Coyne! Danny, Danny Coyne!" Middlesbrough fans at Hillsbrough to Boro's keeper (To tune of Daddy Cool).
And after the teams changed ends...
"You're not Danny Coyne! You're not Danny Coyne!" Boro fans still sharp as ever!
"U-N-I. T-E-D.United fans are from Surrey,With a nick-nack paddy whack, give a dog a bone,Manchester is not your home!" Heard in the Park Lane end at White Hart Lane in honour of our 'northern' guests. Which still doesn't beat a similar one from last year---Arsenal fans to Manchester United fans at Old Trafford: "We'll race you back to London!" For those unaware, most Manchester United fans aren't actually from Manchester...
"If you all won at Wembley, clap your hands!" Gillingham fans (last season's League Two play-off winners) to Millwall fans (League One play-off losers).
And finally, the best stadium announcements of the weekend...
"Oxford United would like to thank the fans for the great support shown. The attendance today is 5688...5600 of those fans being Oxford supporters." The stadium announcer mocking the lack of Eastbourne Borough supporters during their 4-0 defeat to the U's.
"Devastating news from Pride Park...Derby are losing!" Tannoy announcer at Leicester-Blackpool game, followed by a big cheer.
Hope you all enjoyed!
